They are also high in vitamin A, rich in antioxidants, and is a good source of other minerals.

Health Benefits:

Pink and red grapefruit are good sources of beta carotene (a source of vitamin A) and lycopene, an antioxidant “cousin” to beta carotene that has been linked to lower stroke risk. One cup of red or pink grapefruit sections has as much lycopene as a medium 4-ounce tomato. That’s all good.
